Cults of Prax has a table of the Seven Mothers tied to the phases of the moon. Teelo Norri (the maiden) is the Crescent Come, Deezola is the Empty Half, the Red Goddess is Full, Yanafal is the Full Half, Irripi Ontor is the Crescent Go, Danfive is the Dying Moon and Jakaleel is the Black Moon.

Have you seen the Last Emperor? Take a gawk at the beginning where the assembled Mandarins bow towards Pu Yi. That's the Mandarin audience I was thinking of. Considering the huge numbers present, distinctions about public and private appearances become superfluous to me.

If the Kralorelans do not expect Godunya to care about them then why do they acknowlege him as their Emperor? I think it is critically important that the Kralori have the perception that the Emperor cares for them. He maintains the Cosmos and all Good Things on their behalf. If he does not care, then why bother to obey?

All I needed to know about Freudian Id, I got from watching 'Forbidden Planet'.
